Nuevas Sugerencias
1) Dando una vuelta de tuerca a la canción de la semana, les presento "La versión de la semana". Sencillo. Versiones de grupos famosos de canciones famosas. Supongo que en youtube tendré material para mucho tiempo. Buscaré sin cesar para enseñarles lo mejor.
2) "La escena de la semana". Tenía el mundo del cine un poco abandonado. Pensaba proponer una película a la semana. Lo haré a través de escenas de escasos minutos, que espero les anime a ver más cine.
Que ustedes lo disfruten. Yo lo hago.
La Canción de la Semana: 16/2010
Primer Single del primer disco ("Expecting to fly" 1996) de la banda inglesa más Pop del movimiento Britpop. Guitarras limpias y frescas y una de las mejores voces de las islas. El disco es una delicia, Bluetonic, Carnt be trusted, Slight Return.... y una portada expectacular con la imagen de un pavo real. Siguen la estela que dejaron los Stone Roses, pero arrimandose más al Pop si cabe. Me encantan.
when i am sad and weary
when all my hope is gone
and i can't put my finger on the time things first went wrong
i have a little secret i like to tell myself
and until now i haven't told anybody else
you may not see things my way
like my method or my reasons
but you can't tell me that i'm wrong
there's no heart you can't melt
with a certain little smile
and no challenge should be faced
without a little charm and a lot of style
so don't put your faith in time - she heals but doesn't change
and only a fool won't take the chance to stay the same
when i am sad and weary
when all my hope is gone
i walk around my house and think of you with nothing on
i have a list of things i go over in my mind
when i can just sit right back and watch the world unwind
you may not see things my way
i don't care 'cause i'm not asking
but you can't tell me that i'm wrong
there's no heart you can't melt
with a certain little smile
and no challenge should be faced
without a little charm and a lot of style
so don't put your faith in time - she heals but doesn't change
and only a fool won't take the chance to stay the same
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

La Canción de la Semana: 15/2010
Cierto es que dije que este disco era una puta mierda. Creo no tener que volver a explicarles que mi palabra dura bastante poco. Diré a mi favor que este sigue siendo el peor de los discos de Jet de largo, pero esta canción se salva con creces. Es, supongo, ese sonido setentero que en los dos discos anteriores rondaba durante la duración total del disco y aquí sólo permanece en esta canción. Mi sorpresa ha sido mayor al comprobar que ni siquiera han hecho videoclip de esta canción (correspondiendo supongo a la poca aceptación del disco por el público), así que les dejo con dos videos: una versión en acústico y la pista del disco con la imagen de la portada. Disfruten.
Let it come down let it all come down
Get up get up get up, I know you got something to say
Only you don't get to talk, not to me that way
Let it come down let it all come down
Come on come on come on
Are you feeling the same??
I will still be standing here, when you walk away
I don't know anymore
What I need and what for
All I know, is there must be something more
Let it come down let it all come down
You know you know you know
It don't matter what those people say
You don't want to live your life someone else's way
I don't know anymore
What I need and what for
All I know, is there must be something more
La di di La di da
How did we ever get this far
Well I know, that there must be something more
Let it come down let it all come down
Get up get up get up, I know you got something to say
Only you don't get to talk, not to me that way
I don't know anymore
What I need and what for
All I know, is there must be something more
La di di La di da
How did we ever get this far
Well I know, that there must be something more

La Canción de la Semana: 14/2010
Le debía una a Kasabian. El tipo con casaca y barba que aparece disparando al Hotel d'Anglaterra en el encabezado de este Blog, es el lider del grupo, Tom Meighan, en el video "Shoot the runner" (imprescindible verlo), imagen que usurpe sin ningún tipo de escrupulo para que presidiera esta página. Y orgulloso estoy de la elección.
Cuanto más oigo a Kasabian, más me gustan. Esa mezcla de Electrónica, con el sonido del bajo sintetizado y la forma de cantar de este tipo me ponen eléctrico. Habrá que verlos en Directo, porque tiene pinta de fiesta constante.
El video no tiene desperdicio. Destaco dos momentos. La pelota de tenis que impacta en Vlad y ni se inmuta. Y el empalador que sale de si mismo al abrir la capa. Impactante.
Get Loose, Get Loose, Yeahhh. Get Loose, Get Loose, Yeahhh.
Que no se me quita de la cabeza. Pegadizo, oigan.
Face check I walk this beach
I'm frying in the heat in the cauldron stir me
Chomp down my diamond teeth I ain't got
The simple things in life I feel like
You have got to witness
This is your last retreat
My last repeat
All my friends are as sharp as razors
cut you down if you touch the faders
High class girls hung in elevators
Now we have got the floor
Get loose get loose
You can't miss me I'm still alive
Snake skin shoes I'm pleading homicide
Come on and feel this I'm still alive
Joker meet you on the other side
Banshie I hear you call
We need to raise the dead we
need to raise the people
Cut throat this blood runs thick
It is true the simple things
in life have been lost
You have got to witness
We are the last beatniks
The lost heretics
All my friends are as sharp as razors
cut you down if you touch the faders
Listen up all you masqueraders
Now we have got the floor
Now we have got the floor
Get loose get loose
You can't miss me I'm still alive
Snake skin shoes I'm pleading homicide
Come on and feel this I'm still alive
Joker meet you on the other side
